In Case Anyone Forgot...

[Hollyw00d]

I'm f'n pumped. I'm stroking my Weaver bobblehead as we speak.

 

 

I tore my weaver gnome off my dashboard, and I'm placing it on the fireplace mantle

I work tonight from 4-12. Couldn't get my shift covered. Tonight is going to be brutal. I'm going to be on my phone all night.

GO WEAVER! GO ANGELS!!!!

[Blarg]

The entire parking lot will be jammed tonight and not just with the crowd but all of the national news media and television trucks. You must get there very early, it can take up to an hour to get from the Katella off ramp to the stadium entrance or from any surface street. There will be no room for tailgaiting under the A or anywhere else and since it is a playoff the Anaheim PD will be there in force to make sure there are no incidents.

 

It's going to be a huge party so go early, stay late and soak it all up.

how early would you say?

[Section517]

how early would you say?

 

Get there by 530pm.  No one will show up early.  

[19HALO71]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ITS ONLY 11:45am. YES, I AM SCREAMING!!!!

[19HALO71]

IF I WASN'T AT WORK, I WOULD ALREADY BE PASSED OUT IN FRONT OF THE STADIUM. YES, I AM SCREAMING!!!!!

Good idea.  I received an email today that says the following:

 

Angel Stadium parking lot opens 2.5 hours prior to the start of the scheduled first pitch. No vehicles will be admitted onto the lot before that time.

[Blarg]

how early would you say?

 

In this case at least 2 hours before game time. Like the freeways in the morning there is like a 15 minute window of opportunity between rolling along at a decent speed and being dead stopped in rush hour traffic. So if you think an hour and a half is fine you probably will be stuck in a really long line to get in. Hey, worst case scenario going early is you find a good spot and hang out with a couple thousand other Angels fans waiting for gates to open.

 

Warning, in the past you cannot get through the front, side or back gates without displaying your tickets.

[Hollyw00d]

They want to make sure it doesn't turn into a raider game with drunk idiots everywhere

[Spirit]

I'm pretty sure Glen WHI.

That won't happen.  Angels fans are the classiest fans in MLB, right?

[Oz27]

I've been up since 4.30 this morning, so I'm not sure if that counts as excitement or serious nerves.

[19HALO71]

HOLY F%CK!!! I need to get to the stadium soon. I am losing my mind over here.

[Blarg]

How come I just get the feeling ^^^^ gets arrested trying to climb the gate?

[ettin]

That's a weird nickname for your d!^&

I call mine the Dream-wee-wee-weaver.

Get the Guinness ready!

The question becomes who Sac Bunts first?  Normally, Mike would be the right call but Yost has shown to be a worthy contender, bunting early and often.  I'd feel a whole lot better regarding Mike's chances if Mathis was still on the team.

Holy crap...I was totally F'n around when I posted this one.  Mike was sac-tastic last night.  Tonight, when Calhoun gets on, he's going to have Trout bunt just troll everyone on planet Earth.

Obviously, the point has been made a few times through the various threads but it just seemed that Mike playing checkers out there instead of chess; reacting and not really thinking ahead.  Aybar is one of your better hitters, a run producer a good amount of the season, and you take the bat of hands so that a rusty Hamilton (.219 .680 OPS since August 1st and only 14 ABs in the last month) can try to be the run producer he hasn't been almost the entire season.   I really try to give Mike the benefit of the doubt due to his overall success and experience but it was questionable even starting him in the first place.  Now, you are going to give up an out and place your bet on an injured, ice-cold hitter who appears to want to be anyplace other then on a baseball field?  This is the playoffs, why are you giving the opposing team a ray of light?  He's being criticized for it today and rightly so.
